Casita del Rose: PLDT

Showing posts with label PLDT. Show all posts

I just received my sleek MVP Rewards Card thru mail last week. It’s soooo VIP looking, a bit unexpected and a FREE PayMaya card if you still haven’t gotten one.

I did sign up for the MVP Rewards after noticing that I’m no longer accumulating Perks points thru my Smart mobile subscription. Hey! Every points matter.

Lately, you might’ve noticed that your Perks points no longer sit prominently in your Smart online dashboard. Well, this is because the Pangilinan group rolled out a new rewards system called MVPRewards.

MVP Rewards is a loyalty program for all the communications company under the MVP group, rolled into one. What's great is that rebates earned from your PLDT, Smart or Sun subscriptions are combined together and disbursed directly thru your PayMaya app.

Joining is very easy. Just go to www.mvprewards.ph/signup, fill up the details and follow the steps. Once you’ve signed up, you’ll need to add your PLDT, Smart or Sun accounts in the My Account section.

Click the ‘Enroll An Account’ button and choose from the drop down the account types you’re going to enroll. Enroll as many accounts as you want. Here’s the list of accounts you can enroll.

· PLDT

· Smart Postpaid

· Smart Infinity

· Smart Bro Postpaid

· Sun Postpaid

· Smart Prepaid

· Smart Bro Prepaid

· TNT

· Sun Prepaid

· Sun Broadband Prepaid

Even if the account name is not yours, you can still enroll them. However, MVP Rewards would need to contact you first for the verification. Accounts under your name are instantly verified.

For PLDT Ultera users, use the first 3 digit of your Service Reference Number (SRN), found in your billing statement, as the area code to enroll Ultera accounts.

For existing Paymaya users, just open your Paymaya app and add the MVP Paymaya card, by going to My Cards, then Link PayMaya Card.

Doing so would sync your regular Paymaya card wallet with your MVP Paymaya wallet. This would also mean that you’ll see your rebates from MVP Paymaya direct to your Paymaya mobile wallet. However, the sync would only take if both wallets were registered under the same mobile number. Different mobile number would result into a separate Paymaya wallet. A Paymaya representative would contact you to deactivate one card, since an individual can only have one PayMaya account.

You can then use the points to shop or pay for future bills. Win!

Go to their FAQ page for more information.

Ohhh, and your unused Perks points from Smart? No worries, you still have a chance to redeem them. Just text POINTS to 9800 to know your balance, and ITEMS for the list of products you can redeem. You can also check them thru the Smart Perks page.

Redeem them now before they expire.

Vacations are supposed to be fun. A time to relax and spend quality time with friends, family or special someone.

It would be great to be off the grid. Where you won't be bothered by the online community or worst, your work email.

But alas! It is not in the Pinoy's nature to do so.

We want the Facebook update from friends. And we want to post our own lovely vacation photos as well. As it happens, and while it happens.

Hence, we're happy to say that while staying at Casita del Rose, you'll still be connected to the net. The unit is now equipped with WiFi, powered by PLDT Home DSL.
